#still don't know what the point of chara anons are
Note
Hello. I was wondering if you could you write a platonic angst story where the reader is Blade's child. I was thinking usually the only thing that could calm Blade down when the mara flared up was Kafka's spirit whisper but what if being around the reader was also able to calm Blade down for some reason because Blade barely spends any time with the reader unless it's during one of his harsh training sessions and one night the reader decides enough was enough and started packing their stuff but they left behind their lucky weapon (that's your choice) and Blade found it the next morning.
A Cup of Cold Tea
Character : Blade
Genre : Angst
Disclaimer : The relationship between the reader and Blade will be platonic as stated by the request.
a/n : This was my first Request, but it didn't take long for me to find out about the anon sending the same request to most of the HSR writers despite their request was closed. I kept it in my drafts since it would be a waste if i just scrap it all out, not to mention my friend helped me out on this one, so I decided, why not just write the final paragraph and post? Things has been quite rough and busy for me so I'm not done with my hiatus, but I hope you enjoy p.s im sorry if he's ooc here, I don't know his chara well
His blade descends on you, striking downwards in a beautiful arc to cleave your skull.
You dodge within an inch of your life, the after image of his sword burning into your retinas as you fall into a clumsy heap on the floor. Still, you spare no moment for yourself as you scramble up, his sword drawing contact to where you lay as soon as you move.
The minutes blends into hours, time being a concept of little value in the face of Blade's viciousness. It takes everything you have to simply focus on the present, dodging and deflecting when you can. You always stay on the defensive in fights like these; any window you have to strike opens itself for only a millisecond before Blade runs it through clean with his sword.
It makes you wonder how you'd fare if Blade gave it his all. You've seen Blade fight on missions enough times to know that he is much deadlier when he is putting in active effort. In contrast, his movements here are much more sloppy and rabid, fueled only by the unadulterated desire to destroy. It is the madness of his mara in its purest form, though it doesn't make his attacks any less fatal, as proven by the countless wounds that litter your body.
Dead within the first minute, probably, comes the stray thought. It proves to cost you when you earn a gash on your arm, blood spilling freely from your left. You grit your teeth; you need to pay attention. There's never a guarantee for your life when Blade gets like this.
Red spider lilies bloom around you like a garden welcoming death. It sings of carnage, reeking of blood that it greedily consumes, begging for more even if it will eventually wilt away. It feels symbolic, in a way. Out of the two of you, only you are the one who is able to experience true death.
Still, you cannot help but find the blooming sea of red beautiful, even if it is always likely to be your final resting place.
There is a lull in Blade's movements, the manic in his eyes glazing into a dull scarlet as he catches his breath. Immortal he may be, but even he has a limit he will reach. It is a mercy; not only does it signify that his mara has not yet reached a point of no return, it also allows you time to recuperate. Had Blade been given unlimited stamina on top of his self-healing, you would surely have died a long time ago.
Now that the man has tired himself, it is time to bring him back.
"Father," you begin. It comes out as a feeble whisper, your lungs still burning from exertion. Still, you must press on. "Are you okay?"
Blade is silent for a beat, then two. This is fine; you can wait for as long as he needs for your words to reach him. You've gone through this routine enough times to memorize his mannerisms, all of which are currently saying that you are in the clear. So long as his grip on his weapon doesn't tighten again, then you have nothing to be afraid of.
Silence reigns within the room, until you recognize the clarity return to Blade's eyes.
"..You," he grunts, voice hoarse. It's scratchy from his manic screaming and laughter, and you make a mental note to add honey to his tea for his throat.
You nod approvingly. "Yes, Father. Are you okay?" You repeat the question, and this time, Blade manages a sharp nod.
You grin, happy at his answer. You open your mouth to speak again, but Blade cuts you to it. "What happened to your arm?"
The man stares hard at something, and you follow his gaze to find the gash on your left arm. The bleeding has mostly stopped from what you can tell, but it's still an ugly thing to look at. You'll have to wash it soon.
You hum, considering. "It's only a minor cut, Father. I can patch it by myself later."
His eyebrows twitch, his eyes narrowing. "Come," he says simply, walking towards the door.
You let your sword disperse into particles of light before following Blade out of the room. You know there is no arguing with him when he gets like this. Any attempt to reassure him that you can handle yourself will only end with him staring at you with unreadable eyes until you inevitably give in. You're not sure if he does this because he is aware of this fact. Blade doesn't strike you as the type to be attentive to such details, but it's worked every single time, so.
You are both silent as he tends to your wound, cleaning it thoroughly before dutifully bandaging it. Blade even add bandages to the smaller cuts you would've left alone, meticulous in making sure all your wounds are taken care of. You know it is his way to apologize, as he is a silent man who prefers actions in lieu of words. That, and that he's always been awkward when it comes emotions like remorse.
"Get some rest," he says, returning the equipment to the first-aid kit. Blade looks at you, expectant, and it is only when you nod does he leave you alone.
He never calls you by name. It's something that bothered you when you were younger, but it's something you've grown to accept. You're not even certain Blade can recall your name if asked. You know it is his way to cope, to always be prepared for the day when you, too, will leave him. Remembering names are a burden on his soul, so the least you can do is spare him from remembering yours.
Your patience reached its limit. In the dead of night, you quietly packed your belongings and left a note behind. It was brief but carried the weight of your feelings: "I need to find my own path for a while. I hope you understand." You didn't sign it, hoping that the absence itself would convey the message more powerfully.
The moon hung high in the sky as you walked away from the place you called home, your steps determined despite the uncertainty that gnawed at you. You had no plan, no destination in mind. You just knew that you needed time away.
The next morning, Blade woke up to find the room unusually quiet. The absence of the usual sounds—your soft footsteps, the steaming sound of the kettle pot when you made his morning tea—was like a deafening silence. He pushed himself up, his senses alert even before his eyes fully opened. His gaze darted around the room, searching for any sign of your presence.
The sight of your neatly made bed and the note left on the table struck him like a blow. For a moment, he stood frozen, his heart heavy with a mixture of regret and realization. He had been so consumed by his own pursuits that he hadn't noticed the growing distance between you.
His eyes shifted to a corner of the room, where a familiar object caught his attention. There, placed with careful intention, was your lucky weapon. The fiery red blade of the sword gleamed in the soft morning light, its hilt wrapped in supple black leather. The pommel, resembling the closed bud of a red spider lily, held a sense of elegance and balance that echoed the bond between you and Blade.
A pang of guilt and longing gripped Blade's chest as he picked up the sword. The weight of it felt familiar in his hand, a stark reminder of the times he had shared with you. The sword seemed to dance in the air, reflecting both its deadly capabilities and the beauty of its craftsmanship—a reflection of the connection he had with you, one he had been neglecting.
Blade's footsteps were heavy as he left the room, carrying the sword with him. As he went to sit down and process your absence, he noticed a cup of tea placed neatly on the table. The tea, once steaming and fragrant, now languished in its cup, forgotten and neglected. It had been carefully prepared by you before you left, a gesture of concern and care. The faint aroma of the blend, a comforting blend of herbs and warmth, with a hint of honey, still clung to the air around it, a lingering reminder of their intention.
But time had been unkind to the tea, its temperature steadily dropping as it sat abandoned on the table. The steam that had once risen from its surface in delicate tendrils, carrying with it the promise of comfort, had now dissipated into the air. The liquid's once-rich hue had faded slightly, a sign that its vitality was waning, much like the embers of a dying fire.
Blade's eyes fell upon the cup, his gaze drawn to the cold tea that had been left for him. His fingers, calloused from years of wielding the blade, reached out to touch the cup, and he felt the chill radiating from its surface. It was a stark contrast to the warmth he had felt earlier, a reminder of how quickly time could transform something from inviting to forgotten.
As he wrapped his fingers around the cup, he couldn't help but recall the hoarse quality of his voice that had consumed him during their training session. You noticed, as you always did, attuned to the subtleties of his state. The touch of honey they had added was a balm for his throat, a gesture that had been both practical and considerate.
Blade's throat tightened with an emotion he couldn't quite name. The cold tea before him held within it layers of meaning—your concern, your attempt to provide comfort, and a reminder of his own shortcomings.
Regret gnawed at his insides, twisting and churning with every breath he took. Guilt clawed at his conscience, tearing through the facade of indifference he had so carefully crafted. Loneliness engulfed him like a suffocating cloak, reminding him of the void left in your absence. And yet, beneath it all, there flickered a tiny ember of hope—a glimmer of redemption, a chance to right the wrongs he had committed.
Blade couldn't shake the overwhelming sense of despair that threatened to consume him whole. For in that moment, he realized that the hardest battle he would ever face was not against his enemies, but against the demons of his own making—the ones that whispered of his failures and shortcomings, echoing relentlessly in the caverns of his heart.

Thanks for the Measured Response™. Unfortunately the character limit doesn't allow for much nuance in asks. My issue isn't so much with the character's actions as the way their conflict is framed. It always feels like we're supposed to judge Asriel way harsher - for ghosting the person responsible for their trauma - than Chara, who is actively trying to hurt them. I know you don't want to trivialize abuse, but the story still botches the subject pretty badly. Still, good luck with the rewrite.
(sighs) please anon, while I do appreciate the effort to acknowledge the lack of nuance in the previous ask, I would much rather you approach me more reasonably. I don't appreciate you coming to me, a complete stranger to both of us, with this attitude of already guilty. can you please learn to talk to people more reasonably? like, I'm living my life out here and you come and accuse me in a really rude way of promoting abuse or whatever the far-fetched conclusion that ask could come across as.
I am more than happy to accept fault over my writing and do my best to improve, but I want to do so on friendly, acceptable terms. please withhold condemnation and explain how and why you feel the story was mishandled. You do so really nicely in the second ask and I appreciate that.
Ultimately, regardless of my intent, my story didn't convey the message and that's, at the very least, mostly my fault. I can try to explain why I'd argue I didn't fuck up as badly as you paint me as, but I will accept that the story I wrote was not emotionally paced well made it weigh more towards cruelty without the hope and understanding I wanted the story to be read as.
I want to stress that I take abuse deadly seriously. I'm a victim of emotional abuse myself and this is something I am desperate to portray in all of its ugly, dirty detail and I want to do it without hurting people. I obviously failed when I first wrote this and I want to say thank you for coming to me about it, even if I feel there is still some friction here I want to express that gratitude. But also please be aware of how you approach people. (referring to the OG ask here).
Anyway
i wanna defend myself here a little and say I think you're missing the bigger picture of the framing of that scene. I feel you forgot the context of that scene and where it's placed in the story. It's this post.
Previously, that entire chapter had Chara idolizing the Asriel they knew as a child. Their timetravel ability being removed meant they longed for that power to control the narrative and live in the past. its like, metaphorical shit for how when growing up its hard to move on from the past and accept that you're aging.
That scene was the point where Chara realized that Asriel wasn't perfect -and has never been. The story is framed by Chara's POV exclusively and navigates Chara's feelings about their separation from Asriel. The "abuse" of that scene is the feeling of an older sibling telling them to "fuck off" and "stop acting like a victim" which are like... like devoid of the context of Asriel's perspective (which we didn't have at this point in the story) is a very hurtful and emotionally damaging thing to say to someone. I can see how someone reading that, who could have been through a similar situation, would react very badly to seeing that in the comic. Thus the content warning. I honestly don't know if "abuse" is the right word here, but what is someone going to have blacklisted for this? Like I said, my goal is to avoid hurting so I'm not going to not tag it. It's an issue of vocabulary vs. accessibility. I still wouldn't know what to tag this tbh.
the overall narrative of the comic is that Chara's perspective of Asriel was holding themself back. they were wallowing over a perfect picture that never existed -which reflected how they hate themselves for not living up to the perfect angelic ideal that they obviously could never have lived up to.
Chara condemning Asriel for being Flowey and being a jerk is the first step towards chara acknowledging their own blame in the equation. pretending the problem doesn't exist and that you're inherently awful doesn't fix things. Immediately after tossing out Flowey, they realize they are a flower as well. (literally becoming the thing they just condemned Asriel)
Once The two reconcile with the help of Actual Adults in the situation, the story changes POV to Asriel. It's then we're given context to Asriel's perspective and to show, that yeah, both of them Suck as people. That both are capable of majorly fucking up. And that's because the tools they're given a life of trauma and being reborn into a world that doesn't understand your damage is in itself traumatizing.
so idk man. the framework here serves a purpose and while I plan on showing a more nuanced and balanced pace -I really need to show the characters having more things going on than their larger conflict + be happier with each other. (the problem with writing for an askblog is that its very reactive and its easier to lean into tension and relationship drama than focus on the lighter but necessary moments. I know for sure the redraw will be better at this)
But yeah the framework, as it stands, feels good to me. Maybe in the details of how it's shown I'll be able to handle the nuances more gracefully but with the larger goal in mind, I'm not sure how I can change that? I would really love to hear your thoughts on that.
#personal stuff#sams replies#uhhh man irony about a post discussing tagging but do i tag this as#negative#because there's some harsh criticism and feelings in here on both ends so#idk really#i gotta say idk how i feel about tumblr being the method we discuss this as honestly i feel this kinda conversation would be better suited#in DMS. because I don't want this to be a public topic because its very clearly a personal one for both us#i DON'T like discussing abuse so casually... its honestly a painful topic. in the abstract like this its not too bad but its defs not ideal#i'll grant you the need for anonymity tho so i don't mind but i'd prefer we talked privately somehow? eugh. hate writing long posts#i hate how i feel like i gotta word vomit to get my point across without being misunderstood its the woooorst#long post

another amazing chapter!! i would honestly love a movie marathon with them <3 and i love the focus on johnny this time, he's really just a guy with a good heart! bringing reader a blanket and a pillow :((( liu kang at the end there ....... hes so in love with the reader wtf ?!#$??!"? and bi han showing he cares in the most hostile way possible 😭😭😭 bxnsnsnd the only reason i dont want mileena as a love interest is bc i really wanted to see how you would explore her and tanyas dynamic :") kitana as a love interest tho..... thats wife 🤭 and ik this is getting long, but i have a couple questions; do you have an outline for the whole story prepared or is it being changed as you go? since you said adding shang tsung as a love interest would alter the story a bit? and (if it spoils anything, dont worry about answering!) how would you plan on ending it since reader's got a reverse harem going on? do you plan on giving reader an endgame with someone? again, sorry this got a bit long!
(p.s. can i be ☄️ anon? i plan on sticking around for the whole story hehe expect me after every chapter bcus ive subscribed to it on ao3 🫡)
Thank you so much! A movie marathon would be wonderful with the champion squad, but I can imagine how chaotic the emotional whiplash it could get if they all got to chose movies. Like imagine going from a lighthearted rom com to like??? A dark and gritty action movie LMAO I enjoyed writing for Johnny this time around, but I do worry I made him a bit (?) Out of character for his characrer progression, but I'm glad you enjoyed him nevertheless aha ^^ I did really like writing him as a dude who just means well, since he really just is that! Liu Kang is definitely feeling SOMETHING for the reader HAHA Mr. Fire God catching feels? Or is he just really nice 👀? Bi-Han struggles with showing he cares, but he really does. If only there was a therapist character to help him though HAHA Oh I definitely get why you'd want that! Mileena and Tanya's dynamic was interesting for me in this game, so I will have fun portraying that if she doesn't get voted in. If she does, uh, I'll definitely have to figure out what to do LMAOO I love Kitana 🙏 She's my fave female chara and my main in Mk1 !!
I don't mind it being ling at all, I love reading stuff like this and being able to interact with you all!! I don't know many people in my personal life who are willing to hear me obsess over Mortal Kombat like this HAHA
I do have a rough outline of the general story! As well as more defined plot points I like to hit within the arcs of the story. For example, I consider the part of the story we're in to be like the training/pre Outworld arc?? And I have certain moments with characters I want to hit before we move on with the plot! Of course, I am a very impulsive person so I leave it open and easy to change if needed. Events that happen later also tend to change to better fit the flow of the story, but I generally know the direction I want to head with everything.
I plan on giving every love interest an ending (think like endings in mortal kombat for each character!) So ideally I'd like to give each character their own unique ending/epilogue with the reader! People on AO3 also have requested a harem ending which I am open to making, but can't gaurentee due to characters like Shang Tsung. I mighttt make one without certain characters depending on how it all ends, one with everyone, or not one at all! I don't want to stress too much over that right now so that one is still up in the air whether I'll do it or not (especially since we've like, barely started ahaha)
And you can be ☄anon!! I'm happy to hear I have your support on this journey <3 and ty for supporting me there too! I love to see all the feedback from everyone, so I will happily await any comments you make! Thank you again for your kind words and support!

ugh im just so tired of people dying in jjk. like this is just trauma for the characters for no reason and its not fair to them?? they're not real obvi so no reason to advocate for them but i feel like an obnoxious amount of people have died yfm?? because i cant really see how gojo dying would truly advance the plot likeee is this meant to make megumi, yuuta, and/or yuji stronger? bc im pretty sure those 3 have seen enough people die for their own personal development for the rest of their lives. and i feel like even non-jjk enjoyers being shocked proves how random n bad this is, ofc i take all of this back if he comes back(he will trust). i just idk, very frustrating and i can't articulate how i feel properly(i will revisit this topic later).
but like no, school is.. SO bad rn i just.. NO MORE 😭😭 ty for the support though hottie hoshi ILY BAE
- megan anon
EDIT: SPOILERS IN REPLIES SO AVOID IF YOU DON'T READ JJK.
MEGGY DEAR, TALK THAT FUCKING SHIT ‼️ (excuse me, lemme move to my keyboard bc I'm doin hw and don't wanna make typos while i express my take too, lol)
no bc you're so fucking right tho!!! like I've been reading jjk for a long while and the body count of the cast throughout the years has me dumbfounded, not bc they're big or anything no, but bc like most of the charas introduced are either built up as some sort of pillar that enhances the plot/growth of characters (junpei, nanami, yuki, etc.), or they seem very interesting charas that draw you in, but don't go past 10 chaps of screentime (haibara, kokichi). Then you have those who are injured and have yet given any news about their whereabouts (Nobara and Todo), and it's at this point where you just forget having hope 🫤🫤🫤 and NOW we have this and it's like ???? I think this is more so to showcase how much of a devilish threat Sukuna is, based on how much of a rise the reactions are from Yuuji and Yuuta. Yet at the same time, too many deaths in this manga already displayed that notion (esp. from Mahito), and for it to happen to another critical character? Like I get the poetic nuances of it all, I really do, and ngl I saw it coming. But the way it was executed with these leaks....idk man, I'm down to talk more about it, rn me and twt are still trying to fully comprehend it 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
but outside of that, awwww babessss 😥😥😥 sorry to hear that, I get it completely, but don't worry!!! just bc it's bad rn doesn't mean it'll be bad throughout the school semester/year. I mean, it can, but it WON'T!!! WHY!?? Bc I have faith in you, meggy dear!! NEVER BACK DOWN, NEVER WHAT!!???? Lol fr tho, sorry to hear school's kicking ass like always, but don't let that drag your flow down when the goal isn't in reach yet. You got this, I know you do, trust yourself 🗣️📢 ‼️‼️💓 love you moreeee!!!
#𝑵𝒐𝒐𝒏𝒊𝒆 ʚ✮ɞ megan#school loves to fuck your whole vibe up esp when you think you got it down locked#esp for me; it's only my third week and yet there's been so many problems that have put me in a whirlwind#like??? can a girl settle and set up her room first???#god i can't wait for this semester to be over alr#but it's okie megan just know you're not the only one suffering out here#let's suffer and get back up together mkay? ❤️

Yeah, of course! We’ll do a lot better than last time, I promise. *Flowey feels an even greater attachment to Chara now, after hearing that specific deal of their mother starving them as punishment. Nothing like that should ever happen to them again. To go along with the soul-amplified empathy for Chara’s situation, Flowey also feels vengeful and proud even, to have killed their mother.*
*Flowey burrows back to Kara, unsurprised by the commotion not only because he was warned in advance, but also because it’s just a common event at this point for physical fights to break out. He doesn’t bother to step in yet though, since everyone else seems to have it covered. He stays at the ready just in case.*
Jeez, what do people have against you, Kara? You’re like a battle magnet. I think you should run from the battle this time since you’re already hurt. Undyne will have the anon distracted for a while.
(Kara) " I guess the more people know me, the more people hate me. Luckily, my arm will improve soon enough if I replace it with a mechanical arm."
(Dess) "I didn't promise that. Kara gives Dess the side eye. But we do have the tech. You will still be technically different, though. It might even be able to control from others."
(Undyne) "While fighting I never thought an Airbender was real since Alphys told me anime was fake. Anyway, I can't fight alone for much longer."
Kara swings their sword at them and,
(Kara) "I guess that's a win?"
(Sans) "You didn't die."
(Kara) "True."
Everyone gets an alert on their phones except those who don't live in this universe. There's a news article.
(News) "Today, we're finally revealing that Asgore will be tried in court for the murder of 6 kids in a few weeks. Now, if the people think Asgore should be found unjustified in those killings, the penalty will be no less than death. If found justified, then no penalty shall be placed. If it's not a unanimous vote in the jury, it'll be up to the Prime Minister. If you remember the laws, you might realize that the death penalty is strictly prohibited. However, this does not apply to monsters since they don't have similar rights. Thank you for listening, and keep notified to see more about this case."
(Dess) "Starts laughing Wow, this is hilarious now, just how much evil is in humanity. Using the death penalty? PFFT, and they call America evil. I wish all humans would just kill each other already! It's obvious total extinction will come when they all A-Bomb themselves anyway. Why can't I kill them?"
(Kara) "Smacks Dess in the face. Listen here, you little shit. Humans, I'll admit, are sometimes evil. But you want to kill them all? What the hell is wrong with you? I thought you were a good monster. At least that's how you reacted to Noelle and…"
(Dess) "NOELLE'S DEAD!!! I say those who are dead don't care anyway."
(Kara) "Wait, has all this backlash and anger been because you miss Noelle?"
(Dess) "What? No, I'm fine. I'm just a jerk to everyone I meet."
(Kara) "It's okay if you are sad. Can you let it out to me?"
Dess looked in the opposite direction, fighting back tears.
(Kara) "You know, I remember when we all used to go to ICE E's Pizza's. We all used to sit down and talk. Remember what you did when Noelle got scared because the ICE E's mascot came through."
(Dess) "I would hold her in my arms. I would say, 'Shh, it's okay, he won't hurt you,' and she'd be happy. She couldn't hold it in and cried. Kara, Sniff I miss our childhoods. I miss when we used to be friends and be happy together. I miss my dear father. I miss my little sister. I even miss my Mom. I've tried to start a new life with all these people, but they're never as good as us. And seeing you with Flowey shows we are about as far apart as ever. You have friends and no longer need me nor love me."
(Kara) "Hugs Dess Listen to me. It doesn't matter if we're friends, lovers, or acquaintances. We make our lives better by being together. That's all that matters."
They cry for what seems like forever until finally, they both stop.
(Dess) "Alright, we can continue."
#undertale#the white soul#kara#flowey#ask flowey#airspeaker#sans#dess holiday#I wanted to make Dess actually likable but still not the best so here you go.#Just so you know Dess won't be fixed just better.

Darkworld Arc Anon once more haha I'm on AFR brainrot now!! This is all so inch resting! Do you think you're going to find some way to have some type of character that has some type of Asriel symbolism in this arc somewhere, Or is it just going to be Feylow = Chara's fear of growing up? Also, I have to say, as a writer myself, it's good that you can look back & acknowledge that are arcs you might have not handled well, and you have the determination to redo/remake/handle it in a better way 😊!
anon u r so sweet omg!
Feylow still works as an Asriel replacement -even if they're not an Asriel personification. ...Maybe? NGL I was thinking "oh that fake-out regarding Asriel only matters at the start so this should be fine" but that's not true! the whole emotional crux was this
If Feylow is Chara's fear of growing up, then uh, this scene wouldn't make sense???
shiiiiiiit.
Feylow was always a convoluted character -two competing ideas. Oh Oh it's actually Chara's view of Asriel. Oh because it's Chara's perception, Feylow is a mirror/kinda is a part of Chara. That's hard as hell to explain to people, thus harder to write coherently.
makes the most sense if Feylow works as an extension of Chara's fear of growing older -that's kinda Chara's true conflict. It seems they're just angsty over Asriel being a shit friend, but in reality it's the change of being alive and (someday soonish) they'll be an adult ontop of that. Feylow is perfect for a metaphor of that, reflecting "oh this is about asriel" but its actually "oh this is about Chara's fear."
And then in hindsight of Chara being a flower and their monster form being the same as Feylow's makes it foreshadowing. it's good stuff!
but uh. The whole reason we have the dark world is that Chara needs to address their idealization and realize that Asriel's absence and behavior is hurting them, and they need to cut her out. (Only to realize later that people aren't black and white, that Asriel is still the same Asriel deep down, no matter how much they've changed. that they're both fucked up people who need help and support.)
so if Feylow is about growing up, how does Chara cutting Feylow off help??? that arc???
i mean, even just thinking about it, i don't even really like the method of it happening. doesn't really work here, not when the shape shifting thing is more about the angel/demon mentality Chara has. The "i don't feel so good" and shifting into Asriel wouldn't make sense or even work in the slightest. MAAAAYBE if for a breif moment Chara sees Feylow as an evil ruler (thus equating their "destiny" of being a royal and an angel morphed into the demon) kinda makes sense, but at that point the cat would be out of the bag and it'd be clear Feylow isn't Asriel-based but rather Chara. (since the adult designs would be so different.)
thinking on it further, it'd make more sense if this ^ end for form was a seperate being from Feylow. An older sibling... idk about names tho. Kinda limited on what you can name darkners -and hell, I don't even know what on Chara's person would create such a darkner.
I guess the plot line CAN mirror Asriel in this sense, esp with the older sibling darkner angle ^ but it'd need some tweaking. Thinking about it psychologically... Chara's fear is becoming Asriel in a sense. An adult who uses people, a capitalist, someone distant and uncaring about their cruelty. Just tainted further with the blood of those killed*
(both from Chara's initial buttercup plan + Chara and Frisk were in a failed no mercy route initially before discovering pacifist. Chara still holds guilt, despite knowing the two of them were being controlled)
≡(▔﹏▔)≡ bummer we won't have that exact scene, but hopefully this new playing ground makes for a more interesting boss battle and coherent arc.

what’s your opinion on aurorabayrpg?
oh boyyyyyyy
please be advised this is my OPINION
so let me start off by saying i forgot if i joined in the past, so i was waiting to have time to attempt to join. i want to show a screenshot of this ask that perfectly displays the date i received this so the muns cannot act as though i set up the group or were targeting them by sending myself this ask, or whatever else they may say cause idk them, they seem catty asf when called out (you'll see in the screenshots) and wanna cover my bum because i know one of their muns will probably see this - show it to them, and then it'll be a thing~ so...
i started to look around the rp. around the time i got this anon, it seems they were struggling with diversity... and weren't nice with their responses, nor did they make any sense?
^i mean.... *slow clap* way to respond to an anon trying to voice a problem with GLOATING about your initial app count (almost all white).
^fun, it gets better. so.... like.... what? no one is forcing anyone? if someone doesn't want to be a diverse fc, they just wouldn't apply for a second character rather than a third, if they were to tweak it to the second chara rather than the third? it's almost like they're coming up with an excuse for having their rp being white-focused. As it is, the admins brought in mostly white fcs; admin bex having brought in two white fcs (maya hawke & elizabeth gillies) before finally bringing in an aisha dee character (2/3 of their charas WHITE), admin dani has natasha liu bordizzo, daisy edgar jones, florence pugh, chase sui wonders, olivia cooke (3/5 of her characters WHITE), admin kell has zendaya, samantha logan, madelyn cline, axel auriant, tom holland, timothee chalamet (4/6 of their characters are WHITE). altogether, 9/14 admin characters are WHITE - only 5/14 are PoC... way to set the tone for your own group, and then having the AUDACITY to tell an anon you're looking forward to seeing who THEY'D add to YOUR diversity? uhhhhh maybe you should do that yourself and show people you're for diversity? lmfaoooooo diversity isn't solely on your players... but, then again - they obviously don't care judging by their response. "invisible quota" damnnnn the privilege is strrrooonngggg. i didn't even check all the players' characters cause i feel as though i'd only be more angry/upset; but just by judging off of the admin stats - the players are probably at the same rate... i did only get 3/4 of the way down the females list and it's mostly white fcs... so.....
^ like.... YIKES. shoulda just let the top admin talk, cause the second addition is just.... distasteful? uncalled for? hm.
so, if you search their blog they get asks about the group being cliquey or not kinda frequently. i think more than they post tbh cause they're a bigger group. uh, i attempted to join today to see if that were true (even was gonna take up a wc to see if it would help me), and they're really strict on occupations, alone? like... kinda bizarre but they have a set occupations list, you can only apply as one of those or you have to run the occupation by the admin staff if it's not 'vague' enough? weird. controlling, even.
^i, in fact, did NOT understand. there's more to an aquarium than keepers..... idk, the admin team just screamed snarky and controlling at this point, so i didn't join and just decided to put this out there as an honest opinion on my part. ALSO - controlling that you need to change your name/alias to join the group if someone else shares a name with you :) LOVE being told I have to CHANGE MY NAME. LMFAOOOO TF?
also, just as a note: they spam the rp tags. their 2 months of running as a group was back in MARCH and they're still using 'new rp' as a tag... lmfao - y'all have 40 muns, open for over 3 months now, and STILL calling yourselves NEW? you're established at this point. also, their promos clog up the tags - i just had to block their promo blog cause it was all i could see.
BOTTOM LINE:
no care for diversity
rude/catty admins
lack of creative freedom for writers
basically a spam blog
*please note that this is all my opinion based on interactions i've had and from what i've seen. this opinion does not give anyone the right/nor does it ask of anyone to send hate

Can't believe that talk about a weird face made me finally read the new chapter so i just wanna say that it's a mistranslation so my sacrifice wasn't in vain,
What that guy actually says is that he's crazy or sth along those lines (in jp that's directly sth like "his head is strange")
Not directly a mistranslation but i love how much more polite they made the prison guy in the translation when the vibes are more like "don't you dare come back" lol which rly made me laugh (and ig in this context it's also rather kind....?)
Unrelated but i must say that so far i had like 0 interest in Shinichiro White Bread but this chapter made me kinda 😳 my biggest weakness.... charas going feral... Esp usually mellow and kind ones..... augh
So ig that's. My chapter impressions. Also no there's no rest of the chapter no pain no suffering no unpleasant memories for me I'm totally fine hahaha
- timezone anon (who will now return to being a hermit to suffer in lone silence🫠)
His head is strange? Ngl that's a cracking insult I'm gonna start using that irl. So many characters have strange heads in this series so it's still difficult to tell.
I wish they left sassy annoyed guard in, you just know he's sick of Sanzu at that point and wants him out. He probably just talked about Mikey the entire time.
Ohhhh you like shin now? ;)

Hi, probably one of a few systems who submitted Frisk and Chara, We might control Frisk, but Chara is still there with them. Chara doesn't choose violence until we do. We controlling Frisk force Chara to watch us kill their family, and they just take control after we have destroyed everything. We, the player, turn Chara into a monster by our own actions they aren't some evil kid, and Frisk and Chara being plural isn't making Chara an evil alter. I personally believe that in the pacifist ending, Chara is simply at rest and leaves Frisk once, seeing that their family made it out and are safe or stays to watch over Flowey. But in the genocide route we do all the fucked up shit until the last moment where Chara decides to take control from us. Sure, they do bad things at that point, but what traumatized kid wouldn't after everything we the player made them see.
UT anon again also sometimes alters do bad things because they think it will keep them from getting hurt I don't want to give a real life example because it could be triggering but it does happen sometimes alters aren't evil and don't just mass murder for fun but they will hurt themselves, other alters and occasionally the people around them(usually emotionally) if they think it's the best way to keep the system safe pretending those kinds of alters don't exist are going to make it hard for people to accept themselves and harder for those kinds of alters to find support to grow and become better
UT anon, I don't know why I'm so passionate about this, but just they aren't bad plural rep unless people demonize them and if we nitpick every system we are going to leave out rep that some people need/that helps them more than ever alter is a perfect angel (maybe flowey is near the front and wants to defend his sibling idk)
they only got one vote actually! but yeah hm. with a bit more context, i can see why someone might be uncomfortable with them, but i can also see why people like them. hm.

I always wondered where the heck is the pedhopile accusation thing came whenever I encounter westerner who read shugo chara and your reply to previous anon kind of answered my question. In my country's translation which fortunately stay the same with the original japanese one, in late chapter Ikuto said that he'll be a senior in high school which means he's 17 (his birthday is in December) while Amu said she'd be in junior high school which make her age is around 12-13. I'm truly shocked to know that the eng translation put Ikuto and Amu's age that far. 😱😭
I'll be honest, I went off what I heard on some other website for that one. I know she was a fourth grader when she was introduced and Ikuto was in high school, but I don't think Ikuto's age was specified at that point.
I was binging the volumes at the library, but I think the translation was the same (probably). The Wiki explains it thusly:
So I think this means that the age gap is likely more like 5 years? Still creepy, but it's better than 7 years I guess.
I will say that it does make sense why this sort of thing is in here, though. It's a tween girl fantasy fulfillment thing, to have a hot high school bad boy fall for you. So I don't think it was meant to be there for a particularly bad purpose, I really do think that was there for fan service for the target audience.

sorry for the link in anon dfrgtyh but i saw this on twitter https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F0G2MCPXsAEojyu?format=jpg
do you think the other characters in the list will make it in the game? they were apparently from a popularity poll they held a while ago??
ahah no problem! as long as we manage to communicate that way ;D (and that it's clear it's not a bot speaking, but that's already nailed)
I feel like it's possible yes.
Maybe not in the current DLC listing, but perhaps in a later one for all of them?
-Sandalphon MUST end up in the game somewhat. I'm a believer in him being at the end of the current DLC pack and it's why he wasn't teased yet. He's been the most popular demand in every single list, it'd be wild if they didn't commit to it
-Beatrix and Ilsa both could be into it, but maybe not right now? Beatrix perhaps more likely since she does have a model in it.
I worry bc there's already 3 Society characters and they might want to still give some others sagas more meat before giving more to the Society one.
-Seofon definitely feels like the Second Eternal that would enter the rooster, so i could believe it happening sooner than later
-Anila was just added to the game as the First Zodiac, so it's likely it'll delay Vikala a little, but i could imagine Vikala being in another DLC pack. She is extremely popular after all.
-When only Percival and Lancelot were in the games, i was doubtful at the idea of all the Dragon Knights joining the game because otherwise they'd put too many charas of their sagas in it. But now that they added Siegfried, i feel like it would be unfair and impossible to NOT have Vane into the game as well.
It's like if it was only 2/4 of them, it's like, half of them, so sure, half the representant. but 3/4? you gotta commit and finish it.
I feel like Vane will happen down the line, perhaps in another DLC cycle.
-Faasan is a bit of the elephant in the room though. In any normal situation, i could imagine him joining the game eventually, he's teased in the trailer also, so like, yeah, it could happen.
But there's the issue going on with his Seiyuu for a while now and the fact Sakurai officially quit his agency as a result and we don't really know what it will mean for his ongoing projects. Granblue still hired him for Lucifer's uncap but nothing says the recordings didn't happen before he quit his agency so...
I feel like Granblue is in a tough position of either having to keep Sakurai (which, considering the backlash against him, could be bad press, and considering him quiting his agency also meant a fallout with SuzuKen, the boss of the agency, who plays Sandalphon, this is. tough.) or recasting him, or waiting long enough to see if, with enough water under the bridge, people will be able to forget all the sordid details that happened with him.
And i feel like we're still a bit in a waiting period about that. I could imagine that any attempt at including any of the Lucifaces in the game may come with a delay if only to wait to see if people are going to be okay with Sakurai still playing them when the outrage would have died down.
For the funfact the popularity polls were divided by countries and those were the other lists:
The Japanese list has all of the recurring characters so they're the most likely, but i guess those are worth noting too?
Beatrix, Seofon and Sandalphon being in every list pretty much confirm to me that They Will Happen, down the line, eventually. Ilsa and Vikala seems at least also stronggly likely to be involved down the line.
Others characters that migh happen includes Jeanne D'Arc, Silva, Aliza, and that made it to only one list each but still, Black Knight and the others Lucifaces.
For Lucifaces, well :/ same problem, but for the rest, especially since they're not really tied to any saga, anything could happen at anytime at this point. I don't know how STRONGLY they would take precedence over the rest though.
But yeah! we shall see! personally i at least believe in Sandalphon/Seofon/Beatrix, and have reasons to believe in Vane/Vikala, for the rest. we'll see.
Take care o7

for the Fanfic Writer Emoji Ask thing, uh..... can i ask for all of them? i really want to know your answers to like, all of them
hey hey anon my beloved do u know that u are now my favorite anon ???? thank u for this lmaoooo (for context - x) i'll put this under a cut cause it's a long one!
😅 What's a story or scene you've created that you're a smidge embarrassed exists?
u know i really am trying to get over my 'posting unusual kink fic is not cringe' vibes but it's a slow process so i will say that the two ovipos/egg-related fics i have out there rn are probably up there. not in a like 'this is embarrassing to enjoy' kind of way just truly in a 'i am not used to writing this kind of thing and i am still getting comfy with it' much in the same way i felt when i first started writing/posting smut lmao
🥺 Is there a certain type of moment or common interaction between your characters that never fails to put you in your feels?
honestly any kaeluc interaction in canon just makes me 🥺🥺 like whatever they are in canon (i don't particularly care lmao) it's just nice to see them interact and then turn around and see the bits of non-interaction relating to each other (ie hidden strife letters) and just getting the clear sense for how much they really care about each other
🤡 What's a line, scene, or exchange you've written that made you laugh?
oh man i've done this maybe a handful of times? some recent faves include tdrk saying "I would like to reciprocate your flirting" and later "I believe this is called a kabedon". i did also post some chaeya who i think lend themselves well to a bit of comedy where they both get to just. laugh a little over the absurdity of kaeya fucking a slime, and reading that over again just made me laugh bc they're both a little silly abt the whole thing
😈 Has there been a point in a story where you did something just to be playfully mean to your readers?
uhhhhh i mean most of the time i write for myself bUT i will say there were a couple little one-liners in my chaeya fic that were not meant to be playfully mean any of my regular readers just the ones who might stumble upon an ostensibly chaeya fic and happen to think they're safe from kaelucs :) lmao
✍ Do you have a beta reader?
i do not!! every now and then if i'm really having a hard time divorcing myself from a fic enough to edit it, i might tap on someone to see if they have time to just check that the concept like. makes sense. but no, i don't have a beta and a solid 95% of my fics are entirely unbeta'd, we die like (insert fandom death person here lmao)
🛒 What are some common things you incorporate in your fics? Themes, feels, scenes, imagery, etc.
fire. there's always fire imagery somewhere, partly a product of obsessing over characters with fire in their premise (dabi, diluc, tdrk, bkg) and partly just cause it lends itself well to eliciting emotions i think?
🎢 Which of your fics would you call your wildest ride?
ohhhh boy that's a hard question lmao i guess it depends on your definition of a wild ride right? the one with the broadest spectrum of emotions is probably the days are so short, and you are so lovely (x) just cause like. u will cry i cry every time i read it lmao
✨ Give you and your writing a compliment. Go on now. You know you deserve it. 😉
i think i do a pretty good job of immersion!! that's my favorite part of stories so i really work hard to make my stories feel immersive and i think i do it well!
💋 First kiss fics. Love em or hate em?
sort of depends on what 'first kiss' is defined as? first kiss overall like the first time a chara has kissed someone? eh, take it or leave it, probably depends on the rest of the fic. first kiss between two characters? i eat that shit up i love fics where characters are just getting together for the first time
🎶 Do you listen to music while you write? What song have you been playing on loop lately?
i do not understand how ppl can listen to music of any kind while writing lmao i am just so so unable to listen to Anything even without lyrics or even the like 'helps you focus' music i just cannot. therefore, no songs on loop except whatever happens to get stuck in my head lmao
🛠What tools/programs/apps do you use to write?
gdocs through and through lmao. it supports my need to be able to write from any device (not that i particularly enjoy writing from my phone BUT i want to be able to do it if needed or if i want to access smth i'm working on). i've heard of other good ones but not found anything yet that fills that same niche requirement for me lmao
⛔ Do you have a fic you started, but scrapped?
mmmm i find it hard to say i've scrapped anything tbh? i do have a fair handful of fics i started but haven't finished, and a few of those i've gotten pretty deep into as well (here's a thread where i talked about some of them!! - x) but nothing i've started and outright been like 'actually i don't want to do this anymore'
🙋♀️ Do any irl people know you write fanfic?
yup!! my irl wife (we met writing fic) and most of my family (on one side) is well aware, although i'm not sure they all understand like. how fanfic works lmao. i do have a few irl friends that are aware as well, but other than that, no coworkers or anything like that!!
🍦 What's the sweetest fic you've created so far?
oh boy. i mean almost every fic i write has some kind of angst so i'm not sure any qualify as like pure unadulterated fluff BUT i think i wrote a pretty sweet one recently for cynonari (x) which i really just think is such a soft and sweet ship so that probably counts lmao
🍷 Do you drink and write?
i don't actually drink lmao so nope!
🍆 Do you write the spicy stuffs? If so, what's your most popular nsfw fic?
aslkdfjkldsf i do indeed. my most popular fic overall, like, ever, is chosen (x) which happens to be spicy :) lmao
🌞 Do you have a preferred time of day to write?
i feel like this makes me sound like a bad employee (not the worst thing to be ig) but i actually fill a lot of my free time during work hours writing lmao. that's when i often feel more motivated. i'm less likely to write on the weekends unless an idea really inspires me, and same thing goes for nighttime generally!
💖 What made you start writing?
tbh i think it's the same story a lot of ppl have? i saw that other people did it, and i couldn't find a very specific idea i had in mind for something i wanted to read, so i was like 'well, fuck it, maybe i can write it' and...the rest is history lmao
in a less generic sense, though, i think i had built this barrier for myself that like. only Professional Authors could write stories, so seeing that people who were decidedly Not professional authors were writing and sharing and they were good at it without being professionals was like...kind of eye-opening for me? and it helped me push past the idea that, as a person who was Not a ""professional author"", i was Not Allowed to write stories
💌 How do you feel about comments and feedback?
i absolutely love comments and feedback if they're positive! not in a 'i can't handle criticism' kind of way, just in a 'i am sharing this online at no cost because i enjoyed creating it and i hope other ppl will enjoy reading it, and i did not ask for criticism' kind of way. and genuinely i've been super fortunate when it comes to comments like yall are all so lovely!!! and i greatly appreciate the folks who may have clicked onto a fic and started reading and went 'yknow what, not for me' and just peacefully exited without feeling any need to bash on me for stuff they didn't like. the only time i am not appreciative of comments/feedback is when it's critical (constructive or otherwise) because i very specifically did not anywhere ask for any kind of criticism on my stories lmao
❌ What's a trope you will never write?
uhhhh tbh i'll straight up never say never? like, never thought i'd write major character death but whoops i did actually do that (x) and it stands as one of my fave fics i've ever written lmao. i think there's stuff i feel less comfy writing (certain kinks) and stuff i tend to steer clear of cause it's just not what i enjoy (unrequited pining, jealousy) but that's not to say i'd never write it if the right opportunity came up, y'know?
💲 Would you ever open commissions?
uhh probably not? again, i'll never say never!! but i'm pretty strict about keeping hobbies separate from money-generating work, and writing is no exception, especially given the gray area of writing commissions and posting on ao3! i do take prompts pretty much whenever, and i'm happy to work with ppl who have a specific idea and would otherwise commission me, but actually commissioning/opening commissions is not something i have any plans to do!
🧐 Do you spend much time researching for your stories?
usually not really lmao. sometimes i'll do research within the realm of the fandom ie digging around genshin lore and quests and locations and stuff, or looking for phrasing in some quest or another, but outside that i genuinely rarely do research lmaooooo. i write on vibes and whatever logic i can slap together in between one sentence and the next lmao
🏆 What's your most popular fic?
chosen (x)! i think it's the combo of zhongchi and smut, but honestly i'm just honored it's become so popular
🎃 Do you write fics for certain holidays? Which is your favorite holiday inspired fic?
i do on occasion!! ngl it's probably my halloween kaeluc (x) from the year before last, that was just like. a good crack-turned-serious fic and a lot of fun to write lmao
🎯 Have any of your readers accurately guessed major plot points? Care to share which?
alksjdfklsdjf i don't think i really made much of an effort to hide the foreshadowing but there were quite a few people guessing that kaeya and 'gaia auberon' in Kaeya and the Huge Bread (x) were one in the same lmaooo which, of course, was absolutely correct
🎨 How do you feel about fan art of your stories?
i cannot express enough that anyone who has done or will do fanart for any of my fics has my entire heart and soul and i love u deeply. there is nothing quite as heartwarming as knowing that something i wrote inspired someone else to create something
📈 How many fics do you have?
as of right now, 220 across 3 fandoms!
🦅 Do you outline fics or fly by the seat of your pants?
outlining actively drains me of inspiration and motivation so i am fully a pantser and really the only time i'll plan really anything is if i'm approaching the back half of a fic and it's a long boi and i'm trying to decipher what has to happen to arrive at a satisfying conclusion. but short fics/oneshots and at least the first half of long fics are fully pants'd!!!
👀 Tell me about an up and coming wip please!
oh boy uhhhhh well i'll say that there's one centered around a particular waffle shop i encountered while traveling that happened to inspire some pretty silly and fun fic ideas lmao
🤗 What advice would you give to new fanfic writers that are just getting started?
write!!! just write, just do it. anything that your attention fixes on, run with it. it's not gonna be perfect and that's fine!!! just put words down and put more down and keep on going til you have something, then u can workshop or not!! write, and enjoy yourself
💞 Who's your comfort character?
hmmmm probably either childe or kaeya? i think i really just enjoy settling in and writing about them in whatever situations. i have a lot of fun with their internal monologues so i find it easy to sort of just. vibe and not have to think too hard about writing them, which makes them quite comfortable for me (i know this isn't the exact definition of a comfort character but it's close enough lmao)
🤩 Who is your favorite character to write?
aslkdfjkljsdf see above commentary - i do also love diluc and zhongli, they're not hard to get into the mindset to write and they do have fun speech patterns lmao. i also enjoy a bit of unhinged bakugou on occasion lmao
🤲 Would you please share a snippet of a wip?
“Luc,” Kaeya says, and coughs out a laugh at his own breathlessness. As carefully as he can manage, he shifts his pants back up over his hips, only winces briefly at the rough fabric against his oversensitive cock. Winces slightly more at the pressure directly on his ass as he sits up.
“I missed you,” he says, and wonders if it sounds…less like it means something, after that. But if it does, Diluc must not take it that way. He lifts a hand to his lips, dips his head just a bit.
“I…I’m sorry. I did not apologize for the way I behaved, and you deserve an apology.”
Kaeya’s heart clenches in his chest, old wounds torn again, though he can’t deny that it brings him a sort of peace to hear it. To know that he didn’t- that his ignorance was not his own fault. Though perhaps it is a blessing, in the end - had Diluc not shattered him in the way that he did, there is a chance that he’d never have taken his country’s reins so confidently, with such intent.
As though he might’ve learned how to turn back time by digging into each and every facet of his father’s operations, integrating with them so seamlessly that he would know of a bird taking flight at dawn on the other side of the country no later than noon.
😬 Which of your fics would you be most horrified for friends, family, or coworkers to stumble upon?
egg fics sdlkfjsdlkf. hands down. sorry to the part of me that cringes that i haven't managed to kill yet lmao
🎉 What leads you to consider a fic a success?
mmmm i mean i think a fic is successful generally if i enjoyed writing it BUT i do (as everyone does) enjoy knowing that other ppl enjoyed the story too? so kudos are nice, but really i love when i get comments, even just like. one comment where someone called out a couple specific things they liked, that's what makes me really happy
✅ What's something that appears in your fics over and over and over again, even if you don't mean to?
hmmm great question? i feel like i tend to write stories about self discovery and self doubt, and about overcoming internal barriers or boundaries for the sake of something a character might consider 'selfish' but ultimately brings them closer to their truest selves and the lives they strive for
📚 Would you ever want to turn writing into a career?
uhhh not in any traditional sense? as mentioned earlier, i like to keep hobbies and money separate, but i wouldn't necessarily be opposed to adjusting and selling something after it's already been written. but deadlines/writing for a living is a big no for me lmao
⌛ How long does it take you to write a fic, or a chapter?
it absolutely depends !!! i've had days where i unironically bash out 10k in a day, other days where writing a single sentence is like pulling teeth. on average i can probably hit 2-3k a day depending on the day and my free time though? which, ofc, depending on the fic, could amount to a whole chapter, half a chapter, the whole fic, or a small fraction of a oneshot lmao
🤯 What's a genre you struggle with as a writer (ex. romance, action, etc.)?
tbh i like to think i'm pretty alright with most genres? like, the right idea and inspiration can usually get me past any serious roadblocks, and practice makes better (i won't say perfect lmao)
💔 Is there a fic of yours that broke your heart?
yes. see aforementioned major character death fic lmao (x)
💥 How do you feel about criticism?
didn't ask for it, don't care for it, if i want it i'll ask people i know personally and trust to 1. know my writing style and 2. deliver criticism in a constructive way for me personally to receive
🤭 Do you have a favorite tag to use when posting your works?
hmm probably 'getting together' since that is up there as one of my fave stories to write lmao
🥰 How do you feel about reader interaction? Are you open to receiving questions about your fics?
YES YE SYES YESYEYS always i love interaction, i love questions about stories ESPECIALLY if they're big sprawling aus of any sort. interaction my beloved.

Jyushimatsu for the ask thing !
You know what I'm ALL ABOUT, ANON!! You all knew this was coming :3
favorite thing about them
EVERYTHI- ok for real
He's funny. Most of all he is the FUNNIEST character in that show and has so many of the most memorable moments. He bends reality he's completely off the wall and nobody knows what his deal is. JUST. FUN!!! REALLY FUN!
He was my favorite from the beginning but he didn't become a comfort chara until the "Jyushi falls in love" ep. I love that out of everyone, they tackled something so heavy with the silliest character they had. I've written about this a million times so you get the picture! It means a lot to me!
least favorite thing about them
That he's too stupid to remember that he couldve GOT HOMURA'S PHONE NUMBER AND STAYED IN TOUCH - ok it's fine i'm totally over that episode *ahem
I felt kinda eeeehh about how he was written in s3 for the most part.. I DIDNT HATE IT? But he seemed really toned down and acted.. angrier? I think that's the point where I realized the version of him I'd been writing on my ask blog was a completely different character.
(Not that that's a bad thing at all! I mean I'm not a team of comedy writers in japan, I'm one person that just CANNOT HELP HERSELF when faced with the chance to write something dumb n cutesy sappy. I like writing jokes but my stuff always ends up very... soft. I wish I was funnier. But so it goes! )
favorite line
And in the "jyushimatsu and concepts" skit where he talked about being a plus and minus with ichi.
brOTP
WHO ELSE COULD IT BE BUT SUUJI. lol I love any "happy and grumpy" friendship. (everyone who sees my comics is like GEE YOU DON'T SAY) but I don't CARE if it's obvious those kinda friendships make me so happy. I love how perceptive Jyushi is to Ichi's feelings. I love how Ichi is the most likely to see Jyushi as an equal while the others see him as more of a kid. They have this mutual respect for eachother and don't have to pretend about anything cause there's no judgement. It's chill it's very sweet. And also very silly because they'll just enable each other into the weirdest stuff till the others walk in like "what the hell are they doing"
OTP
*Thinks abt Homura and cries
Theyre so goofy silly perfect weirdos together and staff never brought her back because they hate me specifically.
nOTP
I can't think of any besides the obvious. Jyushi doesn't really get any crack ships like the others, not that he needs one.
random headcanon
why am i blanking on this I did rp as this guy for 5 years... maybe it's that I can't choose just one?
um I'll go with this
unpopular opinion
Koby said this already but I must reiterate.
he knows what sex is.
song i associate with them
I MADE A WHOLE PLAYLIST, BUCKO!
But most of all is "Walking the Dog" by fun.
Also "Boys Will Be Bugs" by cavetown may as well be angsty teenage Jyushi's theme song. I'm not even a big fan of cavetown but it's just too fitting.
Also of course that "broken glass" song from victorious because that video is still my pride and joy.
favorite picture of them

That's just one type of family... Probably American.
There's other types of family where it's normal to live with generations of family in one house, it's normal for the community to raise kids together, and so on.
If you don't like the American "you're adult, now leave" Family, you don't have to follow them.
In the same vein, if you don't want to have kids you don't have to.
There's so many path you can take, and the future's still long
//sorry to answer this in ooc and spoils the story a lil bit! feel free to skip this if you don't want any sort of spoilers.
//the story is actually set up to show Mew Mew is wrong, her view point is going to get challenged by other characters. the set up for this epilogue is Chara is leaving for college -but everyone around Asriel has different ideas of what the future should be and what path they will take. you can leave home for college to find yourself, but that is by no means the only or right option.
//to mew mew, we don't know much of her past -just that she felt it was life changing to leave the family farm and that she discovered herself and idolizes going around the world and redefining herself.
//and with Angel's Lullaby in mind, it's very much in line for Toriel to agree on Mew Mew's statement when called out on her own past (not that Mew Mew knows her history) i felt there wasn't enough room in the post itself to have toriel challenge mew mew, so i pulled this card to make the post not be longer. i shouldn't have juggled the complexity of Mew Mew's discussion with Yun with this plot point in the same post for that reason -o- whoops
//(lil bit spoiler-ish in the next paragraph)
//other characters will challenge this idea that you have to leave to figure yourself out -Asriel's life improved when she chose to stay home. she's going to feel pressured to go solo like chara -but will quickly realize no, she needs her family as they need her, and it's best she does this self discovery at home and there's nothing wrong with that. for myself, i can't afford college and living home with my mom is the only option i have -but i also like living with her. and that's okay! its not a bad thing as you've said anon. the american dream of "college/babies" is outdated BS that doesn't fit reality anymore anyway. last thing i want to do is promote that image.
//everyone's going to have different ideas of how to live their life: Undyne and Alphys have adopted and been married, Mew and Yun are in a serious relationship and both have different perspectives on wanting kids or not -something very serious that each will need to compromise when possible while respecting each other's choices. papyrus and sans disagree on papyrus' life moving forward (though i seriously need to establish what papyrus is even doing right now) and then there's toriel, asgore and all the kids and what they got going on.
//that all said, the nuances of the story are going to take time and your ask made me realize with how the mew mew post was worded and left hanging for now, it can easily be read in that simple american "you need to go to college/have babies" rhetoric which this story is supposed to be challenging. and that's on me was the writer, and not on anyone else. the story is a wip by the nature of askblogs, so i can't expect you guys to know my end-game plan. that's why i'm stating it here, to relieve any worries on the direction of the story.
//sorry that was so long winded! thank you for your kind ask. i do remember part of the intent was for people to challenge mew's view points -but the issue with that is people don't always do so. if i answered this in character i feel it'd look too much like i was course correcting instead of naturally letting this be challenged by the characters. i hope that makes sense? thank you anon and sorry i left such a bad impression!

1/3 Ive yet to come across 1 Rina who actually takes into account Ninis role in a potential romantic rela b/t Gina and Ricky. I was a Rina stan in S1 and believed they could have worked then however given the end of S2 and how much closer Nini and Gina have gotten, I dont see how Gina would ever consider dating Ricky in the future. Rini broke up but not because they stopped loving e/o. There were o/ factors in the way. I think its highly likely theyll get back together at some point in...
2/3 the series. The writers clearly want whats best for these characters, esp the girls, and I trust them to do that. I dont see why Gina would ever risk her friendship w/ Nini by crushing on Ricky again. Now that G and Ni trust e/o why would she then date an/o 1 of her exes? EJs diff cuz Nini never loved him and is completely supportive of them. Ricky will always be a sore spot and I dont think G would ever hurt Nini in that way. I wish Rinas would keep in mind Gs growing friendship w/Nini.
3/3 and how that outweighs any potential romantic relationship w/ Ricky. I doubt the writers would want s/o like Gina who works so hard to open up her heart betray that trust she gained from Nini by regressing as a chara to fall for Ricky, again. Im sure Gina values her rela w/ Nini more than her past feelings for Ricky. Any thoughts you wanna share? It just angers me Rinas dont consider Ginis rela in all this ship war mess. And this is coming from someone who used to stan Rina. LOL.
I forgot to add this to my ask about Gina and Nini. I definitely think the writers are holding off on a talk about the flashback scene between Ricky and Gina for S3. I have no doubt that both will get real closure about that night at some point next season. And then maybe they can start repairing their friendship back to how it was in S1 when it was mutually beneficial. Gotta leave something for their stories next season. Otherwise the shippers will throw a fit. 🤷🏽♀️
You make a lot of good points, anon. I agree that Ricky and Nini are still very much in love and that Ricky dating someone else will always be a sore spot for Nini, regardless of who it is. And I also 100% agree that Rini will get back together at some point in the series. In fact, I'm confident Rini will be endgame.
Gina ever dating Ricky would be a very delicate situation. I don't necessarily think she shouldn't be allowed to do so just because Nini still loves him. Hypothetically, if Ricky and Gina had mutual romantic feelings, I do think Nini would want the best for them and step aside. But it'd be a very difficult situation for all three of them and they'd all have to be very open and honest about how they're feeling in order to preserve their friendship, because trying to hide their feelings or relationship from Nini would be a huge breach of trust. We already saw how hurt Nini was when she found out Gina hadn't told her about the chocolates incident, because to her it felt like Gina didn't trust her. And in the hypothetical situation I'm describing, it would be important for Gina to get a sense of how Nini feels about her potentially dating Ricky, because she wouldn't want to do anything that ruins their friendship. As you said, anon, she'd value the friendship she already has with Nini more than something she could potentially have with Ricky.
The thing is: Ricky doesn't have romantic feelings for Gina and never did. He tried moving on from Nini with her, but he never actually got to the point where he was actually moving on and developing feelings for Gina. In Ricky's own words: he was pretending to move on. But he couldn't pretend anymore once he realised that Nini still love him. And Gina has moved on from the feelings she had for him and doesn't feel that way anymore. So the hypothetical I talked about above is moot.
We already know how much Nini's friendship means to Gina. Gina values Nini's honesty, trust, and support, and she'd never want to do anything that undermines their friendship. That's why she said she'd never step on what Ricky has with Nini in 2x04. But the thing with most R*na shippers that I've come across is that they don't like the actual person Gina is. They want her to be this fanon version of herself, who is snarky, ambitious, achievement-driven, and only cares about Ricky. Gina making other friends doesn't fit with their fanon image of her, and especially not when one of those friends is Nini, who most R*nas seem to hate and who is an active threat to their ship. They project a lot onto Gina, so they want Gina to want Nini gone as much as they do, and that's why they fully dismiss Gina and Nini's friendship. It's a similar situation with Ricky and EJ: they project their hatred for EJ onto Ricky and want Ricky to be antagonistic towards EJ again because Ricky in a way represents them in the show. It's a lot like how some fanfics show that the author has a clear dislike for a character, because that character acts in awful and OOC ways and is constantly punished by the narrative.
A lot of fandoms I've come across look at their favourite characters through the lens of their own projections, instead of looking at them as individual people separate from them. They see something in their favourite that reminds them of themselves, and suddenly that favourite must be like them in every other way too. I can't relate to feeling a need to project onto characters, so this way of looking at them has always baffled me. Especially cause it only makes stories less enjoyable for those people. But this attitude doesn't anger me, because it doesn't change canon and it ultimately only negatively affects the people who have that attitude. If they want to create unrealistic expectations for themselves, that's their problem, not mine.
Onto the last ask you sent me: I 100% agree that the writers deliberately held off on giving Ricky and Gina a talk that would allow them to mend their friendship. However, I don't think that has anything to do with the fandom/audience. I highly doubt those are kept in mind for writing choices like this. I think it's more about where both of them are in their arcs. Ricky is still struggling with really seeing the people around him, aside from Nini and Big Red, so he's not fully seeing how hurt Gina was by him just not giving her a straight rejection. And Gina pretended to not be hurt for so long because she's terrified of being so vulnerable. But she learned to be vulnerable throughout season 2 and most importantly: she learned that being vulnerable and voicing your feelings pays off. Sometimes it only gets you closure ("We aren't dating." "Obviously." gave her the rejection she needed to move on), and sometimes it gets you exactly what you wanted ("Can I kiss you? Will you be my first kiss?"). She needed to experience both to get to a point where she may be ready to talk more openly to Ricky about how he made her feel, and Ricky still isn't at a point yet, imo, where he's ready to talk about why he did what he did and make amends for his behaviour so he and Gina can be friends again. But I'm hoping that season 3 will get him there and that we'll see Ricky and Gina as true friends by the end of the season.
